by Maria Cristina Pavarini — July 02, 2012

Lifestyle brand Guess will return to Berlin from July 4-6 to present its spring/summer 2013 denim and apparel collections in the presence of CEO and Creative Director Paul Marciano. The men and women’s collections will be showcased at Bread and Butter’s Denim Base area in a 700 sqm space. Before that, the brand's 30Sexy Years celebrations will kick off on July 4th with an exclusive party at the trendy Spindler & Klatt, located on the banks of the Spree. The evening will feature a special performance by Nero, London’s premiere electronic and dubstep duo known for their roof raising DJ Sets.

For the first fiscal quarter of 2012, which ended on April 28, the company reported net earnings of $26.6 million and a total of 1,595 mono-brand stores in 90 countries. In Europe and the Middle East, Guess operates 577 mono-brand stores including Guess Jeans, Guess by Marciano, Kids, Accessories and Footwear and enjoys a healthy wholesale distribution in top department stores as well as key multi-brand accounts.

Marciano commented, “Despite the challenging economic conditions in many territories, we are continuing to focus our efforts on growing in new international markets. We are expanding in Northern Europe and key countries such as China, Germany and Russia and are consolidating our operations in the Middle East with a new partner. While we have faced economic headwinds in southern Europe, our brand remains strong there and our business is stable. We intend to leverage the strength of our global lifestyle brand and expand in underdeveloped markets and newer concepts.”
